Running Accomplishments:

I started Runner's World beginning runners program (run 30 min. without stopping in 8 weeks) on Oct. 24, 2011. I was able to run a 5K without stopping 4 1/2 weeks later in 39 min. Soooo slow--but I did it! I've only missed 1 day of running (the day of the BIG WIND) since.

I want to run several 5Ks. I want to be able to run 3 miles in 30 min. I would really like to be able to run a 10K. I want to keep running every day!

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to keep in shape so I can always keep up with my kids on the hike up to Cleo's Bath on Sonora Pass.

Personal:

I'm married with 7 incredible children. I work at home while keeping very involved in my 2 teenage boys' activities. I have an amazing husband who constantly cheers me on!

Gorgeous morning! First 3 mi. in 35 min., ncluding walking the uphill from house & uphill on 400 N. Went to 500 S. & back--1st time. It's 3.34 mi., not the 3 mi. I previously thought. It will be a real challenge to make it in 30 min. or less. Maybe by summer! Sprinted at 7.28. Felt great!

YAY! 1st ever 15 mi. week! Feels great! Plus 12 mi. bike ride on Legacy Parkway. It was gorgeous out there--and literally hundreds of bikers, runners & joggers. Great day!

Not a great week for intensity, butI kept the goals for mileage and amount of time per day, so that's still good. This next week I need to bump up the intensity so I'm well prepared for the next 5K at Thanksgiving Point. I figure I need to bump up the mileage so I can get 3 mi. in at a relatively level course. There are so many hills around here that I have to go further to stay (sort of) flat.

I stopped paying attention to running today for 1/2 mi.--while watching TV & running--all of a sudden I realized that I hadn't even been thinking about what I was doing--how fast or slow, how long it was taking, how I was feeling--my body was on autorun. It was a great feeling! That makes me think that maybe that is how it happens over time--your body just automatically goes in a totally natural manner. It was a (small) definite break though!

New *unofficial* goal--2.5 mi./day minimum. I'm kind of anxious about the Thanksgiving Point course--it looks like there's some serious uphill work. Maybe it's not as bad as it looks on their website? At least it looks like it comes more towards the beginning.

slooooooowest.day. ever. I couldn't seem to run more than 100 yds without walking. I don't know what my problem was--except that the route from MACU-home is all uphill (seriously) and that Red Iguana meal from last night made me feel like I was carrying a 50 lb. backpack. Oh well. So happy to have done it, though! I'm doing really well on mileage this week. Next few days will include hikes to Delicate Arch, Landscape Arch and Devil's Garden Campground.
